Hunters

They say in Equestria there are creatures that willingly hunt monsters for sport. These creatures are called 'Humans' and they are what keeps Ponies safe.

"Hunter!" A southern voice yelled out towards a human.

This human was 7'0, wore a brown fur around his waist, a manitcore head was at top of his, and on his feet he had moccasin boots made from the same manitcore skin.

"Yes Granny Smith?" The Hunter asked.

"Please come in side I've got an appel pie going, and I just know y'all will love it"

The hunter smiled and nodded, before walking into the Apple home.

"Thank you, Granny smith"

The man ate a slice of the pie and smiled while talking to the elder.

"So you got all those timber wolves?"

The hunter looked at the elder pony and smiled.

"Yeah and I put some wolf bane around the land so there shouldn't be any trouble for a few weeks" the Hunter explained.

"Well then why don't y'all show me and the lovers where the barrier is?" Granny smith asked.

"Sure...I'll wait here for you to get them"

The hunter, ate his slice of pie with a happy smile.

"Hunter" the hunter looked behind him with a fork in his mouth.

"Ah Bright Mac!" The Hunter stood up and took the fork out. He walked over towards the Earth pony and shook his hand.The Hunter stood taller than the Earth Pony.

"Hunter, I hope I'm not bothering you but...I need help" Bright Mac held a piece of wood.

"A Large Timber Wolf was around here last night, and it was the size of a tree"

The hunter looked at the wood and grabbed it from the smaller being. He inspected it taking note of any marking.

"Hmmm...well I can tell you that this came off of a Iron Wood Wolf, I can take care of it, but you're gonna need to stay here" The hunter pocketed the wood and walked out side, "Taçhi!" He yelled.

Foot steps followed, they belonged to a younger human.

The young Human wore almost the same cloth except he had a dark skin jacket made from a bear.

"Yes sir!" The younger human asked, standing with a chrome tipped spear.

"We're hunting a Iron Timber Wolf!" The Hunter said.

"Sir! If I may a Iron Timber wolf is immune to most of our weapons"

The hunter raised and eyebrow. The younger one sighed and pulled out a bottle with a flame, "we use a Permanente Flame" Taçhi said giving said flame to the older Hunter.

"Now what next?" The Hunter asked.

Taçhi opened the top and put a drop on his spear. The tip light on fire and he immediately closed the bottle. He gave the spear to the older Hunter.

The Hunter took the spear and spoke to Taçhi, "good stay here and keep them safe"

Taçhi nodded and leaned against the house and waited.

"Umm...do you want to come inside?" Asked Bright Mac.

"No sir" Taçhi said looking down at the ground.

"Um...do you want some-"

"Oooooooooooooo!"

Bright Mac's ear went down.

"Inside, I'll deal with it" Taçhi said before pulling a Iron axe out from his pouch.

Bright Mac got inside and walked around, "wait!" He ran out and started to panic, "Apple Jack and Apple Butter!"

"...dam it! Stay here I'll be back!" Taçhi said before walking off towards the orchard.

*thunk!*

A orange colored pony kicked an apple tree knocking all the apples off of the branches.

"Okay Apple Jack that's enough" Apple Butter said to her daughter.

Apple Jack nodded and sighed as she looked at her work; She was proud and smiled before picking up one of the barrels and walked over to her light green colored mother.

"Yes ma!" She said smiling with a wide grin.

"You need to get back to the house!"

Apple Jacke looked towards the voice and saw Taçhi running towards them.

"Hello, Taçhi!" Apple Jack said happy.

Taçhi had a worried look on his face and spoke immediately, "You two need to get back to the house, there's a big Timber wolf coming towards us, drop your apples and run now!"

"OOOOOOOOOOO!"

The howle was again heard and Taçhi walked pass the two. A large wolf made of wood, entered the orchard and looked at the two Ponies with hungry eyes.

"Hey ugly!" Taçhi yelled, "you want them you gotta get past me!" He yelled lifting up his axe.

The wolf snarled and growled at him, smiling Taçhi grabbed his jacket and pulled it off. He held the axe with both his hands and prepared for the hunt.

Apple Jack looked on with amazement and fear, on the back of Taçhi she the head of a Wyvern was tattooed on his back, "I hunted down a Wyvern, you are but a simple rabbit to me!" Taçhi yelled out towards the wolf, "now let the hunt begin!" Taçhi yelled before he charged towards the Timber Wolf.

Taçhi brought back his axe when he was close to the wolf, he swung both his arms down and the Axe cut into the head if the Wooden Wolf, said wolf cried out in pain as it's face had caught the blade of the Axe, "Come on, I want a hunt, not slaughter!" Taçhi yelled out.

As if to acknowledge him, the Wolf shook it's head and the axe flew out of it's face. Taçhi smiled with glee and put one of his hands behind his back before grabbing a large knife out and stabbing it into the head of the wolf. The wolf howled in pain and pushed Taçhi off of him.

The wolf growled and attempted to get the blade out of it's face with one of it's large paws.

Taçhi looked around and found his axe. He grabbed it and looked over to the ponies, "go! I can't protect you if you don't run!" Taçhi yelled out.

Apple Butter nodded before grabbing her daughter and running away back to their house.

Taçhi sighed in relief before focusing on his hunt. He started to charge towards large Timber Wolf. Turning his axe on the flat face he drove it into the knife and drove the blade further into the Timber Wolf.

Screaming in pain the beast bodied the young hunter and slammed him against a tree. He got up and shook off any pain, "You will pay for that!" Taçhi yelled.

He turned tha axe with the the blade facing down and ran towards the wolf.

The beast was prepared for him this time and spun around attempting to slam him into another tree, "that'll only work once!" Taçhi said before waiting for the wolf to mess up.
The beast got dizzy and wobbled a little. Taçhi took the chance to get behind the wolf and slam the blade down and cut the wolf's tail off.

He took another chance and cut it's back leg off. He continued to chop off as manny pieces as he could. In one final blow he drove his axe down into the neck of the Wolf, he brought the axe back up and cut it even deeper this time with more force.

"I will use you're body to make my new weapons!" Taçhi took in a deep breath, "So lay back and die!" With one final swing he cut the head off of the beast. Sighing he let the axe go and allowed himself to rest.

"Taçhi!"

Taçhi looked towards the voice and saw the elder Hunter, "that was stupid! You could've died!" The elder hunter yelled out.

Taçhi looked down in shame, "I under stand farther" he held out the axe and his farther looked at it.

"No keep it...and as for the beats, we'll use it to make more weapons" the elder Hunter smiled and looked at his sons work.

"Now let's get back to the Apples we need to collect or bounty"

The two walked back to the house and saw the family hugging each other. Bright Mac walked up to the young hunter and thanked him. Apple Butter smiled and thanked him too, she looked at the elder hunter and smiled.

Apple Jack walked up next and blushed,"Umm...thank you...I guess" Apple Jack looked down taking notice that she was a head taller.

"Thanks again shorty" she teased.

"...anytime scaredy pony" Taçhi smiled.

Apple Jack made a pouty face and huffed.

Today was a good day for the young hunter and he was happy to hunt, even if it was small game.
